These parts were recalled on previous gm vehicles in the same year. The fuel sensor doesnt want to read correctly and not knowing amount of fuel in tank. The abs system over reacts causing the vehicle to engage while dry conditions are present and alarm to sound.
Abs sensor engaging when not required at low speed braking. Occurs at almost every stop. A recall was issued for 98-02 models but is still occurring on mine and it is an 05. Dealer wants to clean sensors but cannot guarantee they wont get broken during extraction at a replacement cost of $280 a wheel. The vehicle is an 05 GMC sierra half ton. I live within the states defined by the previous recall and have been dealing with the problem for at least one year. This seems like something that should not fall financially to the consumer since it is clearly a problem with design that has been lingering for nearly a decade.
